A password manager software tool securely stores and manages users' passwords. These applications allow users to create and store strong, unique passwords without having to remember them. Password managers encrypt passwords and protect them with a master password, so users only need to remember one password.
Glossary
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is an encryption program used for secure data transmission and storage, mainly to protect email messages. It uses two-key cryptography, where the public key encrypts and the private key decrypts (not to be shared with anyone). PGP also allows digital signatures, which authenticate the sender and prevent messages from being forged. It is widely used to encrypt personal and business communications, as well as files and hard drives.
The deceptive practice of fraudsters posing as a known organisation, company or other trusted source in an attempt to obtain personal information (e.g. user IDs, passwords, credit cards, etc.) from others via websites, emails or other messages.
POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3) is a standard e-mail retrieval protocol. It works by downloading emails from a server to a single computer and then deleting them from the server. The downloaded emails will then only be accessible from that device. If you wish to access the emails from another device, the previously downloaded emails will not be available.
Private (incognito) browsing mode is a feature that allows you to visit websites without the browser saving any information about the pages you visit, such as cookies, cache files or browsing history. This mode helps to keep the user's privacy and reduces the online traces left behind. It can be useful when you are conducting sensitive searches, such as online shopping or banking transactions, and want to minimise the traces of personal data.
